This was right up my alley, a twisty thriller with sex, lies and money right from the first page. Leah is a girl who heeds the advice of her mother who said “don’t marry for love” and “relationships are about power not love and you must have the upper hand”. She seeks out rich, older men and suddenly one seems to come out of nowhere and walk right into her life. Miles is very rich and owns property in France. He still grieving the loss of his young wife Riley who died in an accident at their French estate.
Miles is smitten with Leah and he invites her to his Frech Chateau where she meets his close cousin Vivienne. The story is mostly set in France where Miles proposes to Leah in a whirlwind courtship.
Leah is not so sure about the marriage to a man she doesn’t love but she loves the idea of living a rich life of luxury.
Just when I thought I had everything predicted there was a twist at the end that I did not see coming. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this great ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

This book was one of those that grabs you and makes you want to keep reading. When the second perspective came in and some things were revealed I wondered how it would end since the "twist" was revealed early but I was mistsken for sure! TJ Emerson really impressed me with the ending, although I thought the epilogue was weird.

Psycho thriller about Leah searching for wealthy husband. She marries Miles, 30 years her senior, and lives in London at his estate, along with his sister Vivienne. Mile’s previous wife died at the home. Good plot and twist at the end but too much explicit sex.

"The Last Mrs. Sinclair" by T.J. Emerson is about a young woman in her 20s, Leah Williams, who continues to be haunted by her past and actions of her parents. Leah has her eye on the finer things in life and is determined to create a life of comfort and security for herself no matter what it may take to get her there. While part one was a little slow, it gave us insight into Leah's background, authentic personality, and suspense/mystery of the story. Each part that followed continued to bring on more gripping twists and insightful character development. I enjoyed the authors takes on themes of love, power, money, and self-discovery through this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book.

This would make the ideal holiday/ break away read. I loved the story development when it got to part 2 and then the rest of the book flew by! A great read. A lot of conflict over if I liked the main character (Leah) or not. Thanks for the early access to this book.

I couldn't put it down—every page is packed with action, tension, and drama that make you want to keep reading, even when you know you should put it down for the night. The twists and turns are relentless, each one more surprising than the last, leaving you breathless with anticipation.

What truly stands out is the deep emotional turmoil that the characters go through. The family dynamics are complex and fraught with betrayal, pain, and trauma, making every interaction feel heavy with the weight of unresolved conflict. It's impossible not to get emotionally invested in the characters' struggles, and their journeys make the plot even more gripping.

This is a book that will have you hooked, unable to turn away from the chaos and heartbreak unfolding on each page. It’s a masterful blend of suspense, drama, and psychological depth—an unforgettable read that you won’t soon forget. Highly recommend!

I can honestly say I wasn’t a huge fan of the characters In the story but the story itself was good.
Leah is just looking to get rich and live the lifestyle she was taught about from her mom. Well she is in for more than she expected when she meets Miles. She gets swept up to his chateau where his wife died and his cousin is staying. Vivienne is playing the part of a grieving widow and her and Leah just can’t seem to find a common ground. But with a few twist you will find out exactly why.
The twists make the story cause you really don’t see it coming. If your looking for an easy read maybe a vacation read this is a book you would probably enjoy.

Leah wants what every girl wants - a clear future, a nice husband, and a few extra bucks in the bank. Leah just got out of a regular relationship with someone who ended up falling out of love with her and marrying someone else. She's decided she's looking more for security and money than love and marriage.

Leah meets Miles in a bar, who lost his wife last year. Miles was devastated and didn't think he could start again, but here he is. Miles' cousin Vivienne is one of the last close remaining family members left in his life, so she's important to him. After a quick whirlwind romance, Miles proposes to Leah. Leah also finds out where they are staying was the same location as where Miles' last wife died. She had been told it was an accident, but rumors around town start to circulate and now she's not so sure. Will Miles turn out to be a killer or the love of her life?

I enjoy this so much! I thought it was going to be a silly thriller but I thoroughly enjoyed it enough to actually try and read some more book the author has put forth. This was my introduction to this reader and I'll for sure be doing some research on reading additional things.

I loved this book. There were twists and turns that made me want to keep reading. I didn't want to like Leah because she was a gold digger, but I couldn't help but find myself rooting for her. I did not see the ending coming at all. I will be definitely check out more from this author

I really like this book a lot. When the second perspective came and the second part was revealed, I was curious as to which way it would go as it seemed there was no way. TJ Emerson really impressed me with the ending, but also kind off Ade me want to move to the Italian countryside!

This book was good but mid for me. It moved at a slower pace than I’m used to for thrillers. I like that it had a lot of twists and turns that kept it interesting and it had a bit of an unreliable narrator which is fun.

As for the way it ended, I’m not sure how I feel. I almost feel bad for Leah and happy she chose the ending she did. She seemed to change for the better and get what she deserved from that scumbag Miles.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc!

“The Last Mrs. Sinclair” is a thriller/mystery by TJ Emerson. Where to start - gold digger Leah meets Miles Sinclair, who is a widower. Miles takes Leah to his French chateau where Miles’s cousin, Vivienne, is acting as housekeeper and in mourning over her own husband’s death. There’s mystery - just how did Miles’s wife die - and some twists - what does sexy Jacques know. I’m not a fan of books where I don’t know who I can and cannot trust and in this book, I wasn’t sure anyone could be trusted or even liked. However, it was nice to read the two POVs from both Leah and Vivienne. The book has a pretty steady pace (once the set-up was set) and the overall storyline was interesting. I saw some of the twists coming, so nothing was surprising but it was a quick read and entertaining.
